Love this film...but...

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2013)

Love this film and everything about it. But if I hear another person say its a zombie film I'm going to lose my mind. They are not the reanimated dead, they are infected living people. Stop calling it a zombie film and pay attention to the story. I'm no critic nor do I pretend to be but at least I know what this excellent film is actually about. Yes, it has touches of the Romero type zombie films, and yes, there are questionable zombie references in its pretty good sequel (the scene where the helicopter kills a load of the infected springs to mind, with some of the infected still raging on after losing limbs, guts, etc) but at its heart and sequel aside this was a film about an epidemic and not of the walking dead kind.
